Evaluation is a methodological area that is closely related to, but distinguishable from more traditional social research. Evaluation utilizes many of the same methodologies used in traditional social research, but because evaluation takes place within a political and organizational context, it requires group skills, management ability, political dexterity, sensitivity to multiple stakeholders and other skills that social research in general does not rely on as much. Here we introduce the idea of evaluation and some of the major terms and issues in the field. While you are engaged in the teaching –learning process, you need to have clear estimate of the progress of each learner on the major dimensions of learning. As you know, this process of assessment need to be both continuous and comprehensive which has been strongly emphasized in all the recent documents of education specifically in the National Curriculum Framework 2005 and in the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009.
